I went out to see my chickens, and two of my 10 week old buff orpington "pullets" suddenly are very red - their wattles are so red that i initially thought they were bleeding - i mean.......shockingly red.

I've raised buff orps before, and none of them were ever that red. Even when they were laying they were never THIS red.

And until they were getting cackling age, i never saw anything but a nice brilliant bright pink from the darkest ones.
